Ursula Buchfellner Bio
Ursula Buchfellner is a German actress, glamour and nude model. She was born on June 8, 1961, in Munich, Germany, and has also been credited as Ulla Maris, Ursula Fellner, Ursula Maris, and Uschi Buchfellner. Playboy named her its October 1979 Playmate at 18. Her appearance came during Playboy's 1970s print era, when the magazine reached the height of its mass-market influence.
Buchfellner has natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 33-23-33.
Ursula Buchfellner's Playboy journey began in 1977 when she was discovered in a Munich beer garden at just 16 years old. With the encouragement of her uncle-and her parents' consent, secured under a pretext-she posed for Playboy Germany's December 1977 issue, making history as the youngest-ever Playmate in the magazine's German edition. She would go on to grace multiple international Playboy editions. Her stunning centerfold captured by Peter Weissbrich. This made her the first German Playmate to appear in the American edition.
Following her Playboy success, Ursula quickly became a fixture in European cinema, particularly in erotic and B-movies. She appeared in films like "Popcorn and Raspberry Ice Cream" and "The Last Harem", working with renowned exploitation director Jesus Franco. Despite turning down an $80,000 Penthouse offer in 1979, she eventually became the first Playmate to later pose for Penthouse in 1985.
Beyond modeling and acting, Ursula was savvy with her earnings, using them to secure financial stability, including buying an apartment in Munich-something many Playmates of her era struggled to achieve. Over time, she shifted her career away from erotic films, transitioning into mainstream German television with roles in "Derrick", "Die Wicherts von Nebenan", and "Zum Stanglwirt".
In later years, she pursued an eclectic range of passions, training in cosmetology, working as a children's sports teacher, and even becoming an astrologer. In 2015, she published her autobiography, detailing her turbulent past, including childhood struggles and industry challenges.
Today, Ursula Buchfellner remains a fascinating figure, not just for her groundbreaking status in Playboy, but for her ability to reinvent herself time and time again.
